Figured this might be a fun post to ask Hivers and at the same time maybe hope for a better year the upcoming one.

Idea for the post [taken from Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/jg4rw0/turns_out_2021_is_just_a_bizarre_and/) but I figure this one will have a lot more crypto related content than the one over there. So tell me what you got! 

Here's my list:

First Quarter: Bitcoin and ETH have hit ATH, people start selling it off, we see record volume's with all the stablecoins and decent altcoin projects out there. This time though it doesn't dump down the same way but the dip is caught and it just continues rising taking everything up with it. Projects get their funding, ideas, algo's and scalability gets put to the test and everyone and their grandma are now using web3.

Q2: People are embracing blockchain tech in most places in the world, the unbanked finally have wallets, merchants are accepting all kinds of crypto directly from customers, middlemen start to be evaporated and all jobs automation has been taken are being replaced by new jobs in this industry. Smart cities are coming to life, using renewable energy and their own governance tokens for everything. 

Q3: Artists, social media influencers and gamers are the new wealthy non devs, everyone is getting a piece of the pie and distribution is better than ever. Fiat just keeps on inflating but crypto is going up in price faster, everyone is able to get rid of their debt, entangle themselves from any business with their banks, close down their accounts, get more ledgers.

Q4: The governments of the world are losing more and more power, fake news is being eliminated cause trust and reputation is immutable and no one's voice is censored/banned, anyone can follow whoever they like and hear all sides to make their own decisions. Politics are also losing more and more power and people want to defund them completely and decentralize everything they've known before they got into blockchain tech and little do they know, most things can be decentralized and work better over time that way. 

Hive stands out as one of the best distributed currencies out there, with every pump and dump it creates more holders, better distributed stake, better reach and engagement all over the ecosystem. An app called magic has managed to blow up and get everyone using it without them knowing they're using hive, they just get their rewards, realize their content and comments can't be deleted even when they try, they don't know why or how and only a few bother checking out why, they just blame it on magic and keep powering up more magic.
